  • [SOLVED] Can J-Link BASE connect to Rockchip RK3288 ?

    Hello,

    I'd like to connect to Rockchip RK3288 via J-Link BASE on Firefly RK3288 board, is it possible?
    I saw J-Link support Cortex-A17 (after firmware v9.1), and my hardware verion is v9.4

    I have no idea to fix it,
    thank you.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Generic Cortex-A17 is supported since J-Link Base V9.
    But RK3288 is currently not officially supported:
    segger.com/downloads/supported-devices.php
    It is possible that the RK3288 needs target device specific init before you can connect.
    You can customize connect sequences using a JLinkScript. More information can be found in the J-Link user manual UM08001.
    For information about how to connect to the RK3288 we recommend consulting with Rockchip.

    Best regards,
    Nino

  • Hello Nino,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I contacted Rockchip SoC vendor and get more information about DAP (Debug Access Port).
    And modified JLinkScript through J-Link user manual UM08001. Here is my JLinkScript for RK3288

    Source Code

    1. void InitTarget(void) {
    2. JLINK_SYS_Report("Hello SEGGER JLINK");
    3. CPU = CORTEX_A17;
    5. /* DAP configuration */
    6. CORESIGHT_CoreBaseAddr = 0xFFBB0000;
    8. /* Manually configure which APs are present on the CoreSight device */
    9. CORESIGHT_AddAP(1, CORESIGHT_AHB_AP);
    10. CORESIGHT_AddAP(0, CORESIGHT_APB_AP);
    11. }
    Display All

    Now I can connect to RK3288 (Coretex-A17) through J-Link Base, firmware V9, thank you very much! :)

    Timmy.

  • Hello Timmy,

    Thank you for your feedback.
    Good to hear that you are up and running again.
    Also thank you for providing the JLinkScript. This will surely be useful for other community members looking into the same target device as you.

    Best regards,
    Nino
